1053-661: A physical body like every other man: and as savior of the human family, he had a spiritual and mystical body, the Church.

Cardinal Luigi Macchi announced Sarto's election at around 12:10pm.

The poor relations between the Roman Curia and the Italian civil government since the annexation of the Papal States in 1870 placed additional strain on the appointment. The number of vacant sees soon grew to 30. Sarto was finally permitted to assume the position of patriarch in 1894. In regard to being named as a cardinal, Sarto told a local newspaper that he felt "anxious, terrified and humiliated". After being named cardinal and before leaving for Venice, he visited his mother. Overwhelmed with emotion, she asked: "My son, give your mother

2106-558: The Holy Office cleared him of all charges.

When his way was blocked by a rock, he set down the Marian figurine he had brought with him, whereby

2268-414: The age of discretion . The pope lowered the age because he wished to impress the event on the minds of children and stimulate their parents to new religious observance; this decree was found unwelcome in some places due to the belief that parents would withdraw their children early from Catholic schools, now that First Communion was carried out earlier. Pius X even personally distributed First Communion to
